PEDEVCO CORP. (NYSEMKT:PED) Files An 8-K Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

ITEM 3.01NOTICE OF DELISTING OR FAILURE TO SATISFY A CONTINUED
LISTING RULE OR STANDARD; TRANSFER OF LISTING.

On May 3, 2017, PEDEVCO Corp. (the Company) received notice from
the NYSE MKT LLC (the Exchange) that, as a result of the Companys
one-for-ten reverse split of its outstanding common stock that
took effect on April 7, 2017, the Company has regained compliance
with Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE MKT Company Guide (Company
Guide), which requires the thirty day average closing price per
share of the Companys common stock to be at or above $0.20 per
share. The Exchange previously notified the Company
that it was out of compliance with this continued listing
standard on November 3, 2016, as reported by the Company in a
Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the SEC) on November 9, 2016.
In addition, on May 3, 2017, the Company received notice from the
Exchange that the Company is not in compliance with Sections
1003(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) of the Company Guide since it reported
stockholders equity of less than $2,000,000 at December 31, 2016
and has incurred net losses in its five most recent fiscal years
ended December 31, 2016. The Exchange previously notified the
Company that it was out of compliance with the Exchanges
$6,000,000 minimum stockholders equity standard under Section
1003(a)(iii) on December 27, 2016, as reported by the Company in
a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 30, 2016. As
previously reported by the Company in a Current Report on Form
8-K filed on February 17, 2017, the Company submitted a plan of
compliance (Plan) to the Exchange designed to regain compliance
under Section 1003(a)(iii) of the Company Guide, which was
accepted by the Exchange on February 13, 2017, and which Plan, if
achieved as contemplated, would increase the Companys
stockholders equity well-above the Exchanges minimum continued
listing standards required under Sections 1003(a)(i), (ii) and
(iii) of the Company Guide. As such, no new or revised Plan is
required to be submitted by the Exchange at this time, and the
Company believes it is making progress consistent with the
Exchange-approved Plan.
Receipt of the letter does not have any immediate effect upon the
listing of the Companys common stock, provided that in order to
maintain its listing on the Exchange, the Company must continue
to make progress consistent with the Plan previously approved by
the Exchange, and regain compliance with Sections 1003(a)(i),
(ii) and (iii) of the Company Guide by June 27, 2018. If the
Company fails to do so, the Company will be subject to delisting
procedures as set forth in the Company Guide. The Company may
then appeal such a determination by the staff of the Exchange in
accordance with the provisions of the Company Guide. There can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve compliance
with the Exchanges continued listing standards within the
required time frame. Until the Company regains compliance with
the Exchanges listing standards, a .BC indicator will be affixed
to the Companys trading symbolto denote non-compliance with the
Exchanges continued listing standards; provided that as disclosed
in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on
November 9, 2016, a .BC indicator is already affixed to the
Companys trading symbol due to the fact that the Company was not
in compliance with Section 1003(f)(v) of the Company Guide until
notified on May 3, 2017 that it has now regained compliance under
such Section.
ITEM 7.01 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.
The Company issued a press release on May 9, 2017, announcing
that the Company had received notice from the Exchange indicating
that it had regained compliance with the Exchanges continued
minimum stock price listing standards, but does not satisfy the
continued listing standards of the Exchange with respect to
minimum stockholders equity. A copy of the press release is
furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by
